Why Are Berries Good for Diabetics?

Low Glycemic Index (GI): Berries have a low GI, meaning they do not cause sharp spikes in blood sugar.✅ Rich in Fiber: Fiber slows digestion and prevents rapid sugar absorption into the bloodstream.✅ High in Antioxidants: They contain polyphenols that help reduce inflammation and insulin resistance.✅ Support Heart Health: Berries improve cardiovascular health, which is important since diabetics have a higher risk of heart disease.
